SLAC Organization: 8/1/09 SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Persis Drell, Director Alexander Merola, COO Director’s Council Director’s Advisory Council Operations Alexander Merola Accelerator Dale Knutson (Acting) LCLS Jo Stohr SSRL P. Pianetta (Acting) Photon Science K. Hodgson Particle Physics & Astrophysics D. MacFarlane • Major Changes • Jo Stohr named LCLS ALD as of July 1 • Piero Pianetta named SSRL ALD (Acting) as of July 1 • LCLS, Sector 0-20, & SSRL Accelerator Operations moves into Accelerator Directorate (AD) • ETS is absorbed into Accelerator Directorate (AD) • Accelerator Research Division moves from PPA into AD DOE Briefing 7/27/09 Page 21

  22. Why reorganize accelerator activities? • Our accelerator skills are widely spread across SLAC • Need to consolidate, optimize and focus our accelerator core competency for the benefit of the lab as a whole and our shared long term vision • Need to appropriately balance near/mid/long term priorities • Accelerator Research and Operations will be enhanced by being tied more closely together • Both performance of current programs will benefit and ties to future science drivers will be improved • Not all aspects of operations are being managed with the same rigor • We can create a more uniform conduct of operations everywhere, with uniform standards and a broader environment for career development • We take our role as a “National Accelerator Laboratory” seriously • Accelerator infrastructure must be managed to optimally support science long-term in a sustainable fashion

  27. Fundamental Questions • What are the ultimate Laws of Nature? • Are there new forces, beyond what we see today? Do the forces unify? At what scale? Why is gravity so different from the other forces? • What lies beyond the quarks and leptons? What completes the Standard Model? How do the neutrinos fit in the picture? • What is the structure of space and time? • Why are there four spacetime dimensions? Are there more? What are their shapes and sizes? What is the quantum theory of gravity? • What is the state of the vacuum? What is the origin of mass? • How did the Universe come to be? • What is the dark matter and dark energy? What happened to antimatter? What powered the big bang? • What is the fate of the Universe?
